This past weekend, I had the intense pleasure of heading to super hot & humid Nashville, Tennessee to attend Beachbody Coach Summit. 

 

This was my second coach summit since I joined team Beachbody. My first was two years ago in Las Vegas. Here are some photo highlights! 

This year, I feel like I went with new eyes! Whereas the first one, I was focused on what I could learn for myself despite being relatively uncoachable, this time, while I had some AMAZING takeaways from speakers Simon Sinek and Dewitt Jones, the vast majority of my focus and what I gained week things that I want to pass along to my amazing team! 

 

If you’re not familiar with Summit, here is a brief explanation of what it’s all about.  One part of it is the new product announcements! 

 

There were some new products that we knew ahead of time were going to be released – Cize, and the new Performance line of supplements. 

 

Cize is the latest fitness program by celebrity trainer Shaun T, who you may know from the various Insanity workouts, Hip Hop Abs, Rockin Body, or Focus T25. Shaun T’s background is in dancing, so it comes as no surprise that he’d release a program that is dancing based! It’s called “Cize,” because it’s the end of exerCIZE. Get it? Here’s a video about it! 

People have so much fun dancing that they forget they are even exercising, and still have amazing results! 

 

The other product we knew was coming was the performance line of supplements! This was what I was most excited about, and I can’t wait to try them! They are completely natural, and are even NSF-certified for use by professional and collegiate athletes! Since they are pretty scientific, I am going to go ahead and let the scientists explain it! 

But that’s not all – Beachbody also had some surprises up its sleeve! 

 

The first surprise was a line of three boosts you can get for your Shakeology! One is Digestive Health, which contains both soluable and insoluable fiber! The next is Focused Energy, which has a specific blend of specialized caffeine and vitamins to give you energy and focus at a sustained rate – not a spike and a crash! Finally, if you have a tough time getting your veggies in, Power Greens is perfect for you! 

 

I was fortunate enough to get to try both the focused energy and the power greens this weekend, and I was impressed! I didn’t feel like they altered the flavor of the shake much, but I definitely felt the benefits! 

Beachbody announced a new program that has been a rumor for a while, but is now confirmed! It is called “The Master’s Hammer & Chisel,” and is a program made by both Sagi Kalev of Body Beast (the hammer, in this situation) and Autumn Calabrese of 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme (she’s the chisel), which is an extreme program that combines heavy lifting and functional fitness to build and shred! This is due out in December! There will be a sneak peek of it on Beachbody On Demand (which has some awesome features being added to it now) in October, though! 

Speaking of Fall, Beachbody has FINALLY announced the app I have been waiting FOREVER for! The “My Challenge App” which brings a challenge group away from Facebook, and gives a place for all Beachbody challenge groups to exist, with personal reminders and tracking of workouts, shakes, nutrition and progress! I can’t wait – this is going to make helping people so much easier!  

 

Summit is also about learning – learning about the new products offered, personal development on general topics, and how to best help people fulfill their goals to lead healthy, fulfilling lives! Most of this info is going straight to my team (want to join or more info on it? Message me!), but I will say that if you have the opportunity to hear Simon Sinek (whose books I recommend as well!) or Dewitt Jones speak, TAKE IT! 

I am sure that it comes as no surprise that Beachbody Coach Summit also has workouts! My flight was later, so I missed my first workout that was with Tony Horton (who you most likely know from P90, P90X, P90X2, P90X3, Power 90, or 10-Minute Trainer), but on Friday morning I got to work out live with Chalene Johnson (of Turbokick, TurboJam, TurboFire, PiYo, Hip Hop Hustle, the 30-DayPush, Push and tons of other personal and business development and social media trainings – she’s amazing)! And the best part – the SUPERWORKOUT on Saturday morning, which was all 25,000 of us coaches working out on Broadway with all of the trainers mentioned above! 

The final amazing aspect of the Beachbody coach summit that I have to mention are two things that go hand in hand – inspiration and celebration! At the two events that were at LP Field for all of us coaches to attend together at once (the others were divided at Bridgestone Arena and the Music City Center, many of the most successful and top coaches were recognized for their achievements in business and outside of it, such as with the top coach and humanitarian awards respectively, which is inspiring as a Beachbody coach specifically, because it shows us what we can achieve and earn by helping others! 

But what is most inspiring to me is the Beachbody Challenge Award winners, which are one man and one woman who are awarded $100,000 each to celebrate their transformation stories. Here are this year’s winners: 

It is my goal to help someone win that! 

Could it be you? I have a challenge group starting 7/27! Click here to join! Of, if it is after July 31st, 2015 and you are reading this, send me a message! 

There was some inspiration that can inspire anyone, too – and that’s this story about the starfish that they told, which culminated in our silly and amazing CEO dressing up as a starfish himself to make is smile, and remind us that every ONE matters. 

Needles to say, after this weekend, I am EXTRA fired up to help people. How can I help you? 

XOXO, 

Mandie
